Intended Use

The CTI PET Systems Inc. ECAT HRRT positron emission tomography (PET) scanners are intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to image and measure the distribution of injected positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals in humans for the purpose of determining various metabolic and physiologic functions within the human body.

Device Description

The CTI PET Systems ECAT HRRT is a new positron emission tomography (PET) scanner system. The ECAT HRRT PET scanners utilize flat panel detector heads, combined LSO (Lutetium Oxyortho-Silicate) / LYSO (Lutetium Yttrium Oxyortho-Silicate) crystal detector technology. The HRRT consists of eight detector panels in an octagonal arrangement completely encircling the bore of the Gantry. A Patient Handling System (PHS) will be offered as an optional accessory with the scanner. This PHS is similar to other PHS systems currently marketed with the exception that it has been specifically designed for use with the HRRT. Modifications have been made to accommodate the different size gantry bore and shorter horizontal travel associated with this gantry. The acquisition computer system is comprised of an Intel based acquisition PC, a Raid system disk and a console connected via fibre channel to the HRRT electronics. This is the same as is used in the ECAT ACCEL (K002584) with the exception of the RAID disk. Software is based on the Standard ECAT software (7.x), which is used with the ECAT ACCEL system. Modifications have been made to accommodate the new acquisition system, enlarged data sets (due to increased resolution) and user interface to allow clinician flexibility in reconstruction.

AI/ML Overview

Acceptance Criteria and Study for ECAT HRRT PET Scanner (K040933)

Based on the provided 510(k) summary for the ECAT HRRT PET Scanner (K040933), the device's acceptance criteria and the study proving its performance are described below. It is important to note that the provided document is a summary and does not contain detailed study protocols or comprehensive data.


1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The 510(k) summary states that "Performance of the ECAT HRRT system has been tested by CPS and found to meet its predetermined PET performance specifications." However, the specific quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed performance specifications are not explicitly listed in the provided document. The document asserts substantial equivalence to predicate devices, implying that the HRRT's performance is at least comparable to or better than the predicate devices (ECAT ACCEL and E.CAM LSO 311).

Without explicit criteria, a table cannot be fully populated. However, based on the general description of PET scanners, typical performance specifications would include:

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
Spatial ResolutionNot explicitly stated (implied to be improved due to "enlarged data sets (due to increased resolution)")
SensitivityNot explicitly stated
Noise Equivalent Counts (NEC)Not explicitly stated
Count Rate PerformanceNot explicitly stated
Image UniformityNot explicitly stated
Scatter FractionNot explicitly stated
Timing ResolutionNot explicitly stated

The document mentions "enlarged data sets (due to increased resolution)" as a modification handled by the software, suggesting an improvement in resolution compared to the predicate devices.


2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The 510(k) summary does not explicitly state the sample size used for any test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The performance testing is described generically as "tested by CPS."


3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

The provided document does not mention the use of experts or the establishment of ground truth for any test set. The performance assessment appears to be based on technical specifications rather than diagnostic accuracy studies involving expert interpretation of images.


4. Adjudication Method

As there is no mention of a test set involving human interpretation or diagnostic outcomes, an adjudication method is not described.


5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

The document does not indicate that a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was performed. The focus is on the device's technical specifications and substantial equivalence to predicate devices. Therefore, no effect size for human reader improvement with AI assistance is provided.


6. Standalone Performance Study

The summary states, "Performance of the ECAT HRRT system has been tested by CPS and found to meet its predetermined PET performance specifications." This implicitly describes a standalone performance evaluation of the algorithm-only (or system-only) without human-in-the-loop performance. However, the details of this testing are not provided.


7. Type of Ground Truth Used

Given that the performance evaluation appears to be based on meeting "predetermined PET performance specifications" rather than diagnostic accuracy, the type of "ground truth" would likely be based on physical phantom measurements, simulated data, or predefined technical benchmarks typically used to characterize PET scanner performance (e.g., measuring spatial resolution from a point source, sensitivity from a uniform phantom). The document does not specify the exact methods.


8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention any training set or machine learning components with a quantifiable sample size. The software is based on "Standard ECAT software (7.x)" with modifications for the new acquisition system and larger data sets. This indicates that the software is likely an updated version of a commercially available and established application, rather than a newly developed AI/ML model requiring a specific training set to establish its core functionality.


9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As no training set is described, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable or provided.

Indications for Use

The CTI PET Systems Inc. ECAT HRRT positron emission tomography (PET) scanners are intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to image and measure the distribution of injected positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals in humans for the purpose of determining various metabolic and physiologic functions within the human body.

Comparison with Predicate Devices

The ECAT HRRT PET scanner leverages much of the already proven technology, as well as many components and features of currently produced CPS PET tomographic systems. The 360 degree field of view (FOV) detector geometry surrounding the patient port is similar to that of the CPS ECAT ACCEL PET scanner (K002584). The flat panel detectors, LSO/LYSO combined crystal detector technology, and coincidence point source transmission scanning design concepts were borrowed from the E.CAM LSO 311 PET/SPECT system (K981027). The patient handling system (PHS) offered as an option with ECAT HRRT scanner is similar to the PHS used on the CPS ECAT ACCEL. The Advanced Computational System (ACS), used to store and process acquired PET data into sinograms, as well as the reconstruction computer, control console, and the ECAT software are updated versions of those components used in the ECAT ACCEL scanner.

Safety and Effectiveness

The CPS ECAT HRRT system has been designed to comply with applicable industry safety standards for this type of medical equipment including the international standard IEC 60601-1, General Requirements for the Safety Electrical Medical Equipment. Performance of the ECAT HRRT system has been tested by CPS and found to meet its predetermined PET performance specifications.

Substantial Equivalence Determination

In the opinion of CPS, the ECAT HRRT PET scanner utilizes the same scientific technology as the predicate ECAT ACCEL and E.CAM LSO 311 PET/SPECT systems and raises no new questions with regard to its safety and effectiveness. Therefore, we believe the ECAT HRRT is substantially equivalent to those tomographic systems with respect to design, material and composition, energy source, and radiation safety characteristics.
